Introduction
Trees
are important to Auckland City. They play an important ecological,
historical, environmental and cultural role in the life of our city.
Trees act as noise
buffers, weather shields and land stabilisers. They also cleanse the air
of pollutants and provide habitats for wildlife. Collectively, they give the landscape
a distinctive green quality and charm.
Auckland City
values its trees as public assets. It is custodian of about 65,000 street
trees, more than 48,000 specimen trees in parks and many more in bush
areas. Maintaining these trees is a top priority. Auckland City will
arrange for a specialist to investigate any requests for maintenance on
trees and to determine the appropriate course of action.
